It’s that time of year again. The time when we set aside a day to be thankful and to celebrate all the blessings in our lives. Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. I love it because it’s just about family time, reflecting on what God has given us, and, in my family, good southern food. There’s no shopping involved. I like shopping, but I’ve come to dislike the focus on “stuff” that Christmas brings. Thanksgiving is perfect. It’s usually a lazy day (unless you are the cook) filled with just being with other people.
This year I have so much to be thankful for. I know that like most of you, I could say that every day of my life. We live in a country that has been abundantly blessed in every way. This year though, I feel especially blessed. I have a story to share here soon. Most of you know all or at least part of my story. For those that don’t, I’ll keep you in suspense for a while longer.
I do want to share some of the things I’m particularly thankful for during this season:
· Answered prayers
· A caring church family
· God’s providence
· Generous friends
· My supportive family
· Understanding bosses and co-workers
· God’s timing
· Immeasurable prayers offered up for me and my family
· My amazingly loving husband
· Friendly advice
· God’s graciousness
· The color PINK.
As always I am so thankful for a God who loves me and has a plan for my life. I’m thankful that He demonstrated His love for me through the sacrifice of His Son. I’m thankful that He continually shows His love for me in both big and small ways.
Happy Thanksgiving!
What are you thankful for this year?
